I still have friends I served with in the 1st Armor Div. as well as 1st Cav and can speak honestly about brothers in arms. At times I feel guilty that I left them to continue the fight.
Its a cold heartless soul that can take a day of reflection and grief and turn it to be about them and their europeon election (WTF) clueless I guess as to the disipline and sacrafice needed to keep the world safe from terror, despots and the others of the same ilk.
The same praises can be said as Earl or WT said about our first responders.
Pay no mind I 'm sure the fallen would understand and instead of an apology please accept my sincere thank you

As for the rest of the dust-up, I may plead a slight mea culpa, having foresight enough to guess what was coming. Easy as trapping possums, when you set a trap for coon. I was however offended at the lack of civility from the frog prince, dropping in with total disregard for the topic at hand. The direction the ensuing pandemonium would take was anybody's guess. All I can say is "rapture."
My best thread ever, and truer colors have never been shown, in every regard.

I apologize for having messed up Earl's post by addressing Skies. Lesson learned. I thought Earl's original post was a sincere and poignant reminder of today, a day for which I also carry deep personal scars (as do most people I know). In fact, my wife works at the Naval Postgrad School here in Monterey with several folks who colleagues that day. Whatever your politics, pretty callous to dump crap on a simple rememberance of those lost and thanks for those who serve. Sorry for part in mucking up the waters here.

there was nothing wrong with your post imho. Thank you for your years and years of service to our great country and prayers to the families of those friends and comrades you lost on that horrible day.
